Sid is no ready product. If you go to the bakers and ask for
unbaked dough and you eat it and you get pain in your stomach
you could probably blame the bakers that he has offered your
dangerous food. But it is different with Free Software: You
are kind of stealing the dough without any notice of the bakers
out of his bakery. Well, you are allowed to do so, because
it is perfectly legal. But do you think that the thief of
the dough is able to blame the bakers to have him not warned?
Kind regards
Andreas.
